Websense Enterprise integrated with Cisco network and security solutions allows businesses to analyze, manage, and report on network and employee access to the Internet and other network-based applications such as use of Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer, and Streaming Media. The combined Websense and Cisco solution significantly improves employee productivity and network bandwidth capacity while reducing security risks and legal liability.

Websense Enterprise is the only filtering solution selected for the Cisco SAFE reference network and fully integrated on all major Cisco network and security solutions including PIX Firewalls, Content Engines, IOS Routers and Catalyst Switches. These integrations provide customers with the flexibility to deploy Websense Enterprise at any point in their network by adapting to their network and security architecture.
